Used in organic electronics as a semiconductor material due to its extended aromatic structure and good charge transport properties. Employed in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as a fluorescent dopant or host matrix for efficient emission. Acts as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy research, showing potential for cancer treatment under light activation. Also utilized as a building block in supramolecular chemistry for constructing π-conjugated systems with tailored electronic and optical features. Its planar, rigid framework makes it suitable for studying intermolecular interactions in crystal engineering.
